The world’s first website was created in December 1990 and launched in 1991 at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee, introducing the World Wide Web Project. It offered information on creating web pages and using hypertext, marking the beginning of the internet as a publicly accessible information-sharing platform.
Hosted on the address http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. This website served as a resource about the World Wide Web project itself.
Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
CERN is not an isolated laboratory, but rather the focal point for an extensive community that includes more than 17 000 scientists from over 100 countries. Although they typically spend some time on the CERN site, the scientists usually work at universities and national laboratories in their home countries. Reliable communication tools are therefore essential.
The basic idea of the WWW was to merge the evolving technologies of computers, data networks and hypertext into a powerful and easy to use global information system.
